That's really a nice piece Mike. The bark, worm and bug holes really add to it. It almost reminds me of a slightly melted Hershey Kiss (in a good way.)
I am tempted to move in order to find your wood source.

Good one Mike, It's got a nice profile and the flocking color goes well with the woods colors, well done.

Beautiful piece Mike.
My luck with box elder hasn't been good lately. Some kind soul gave me a bunch of box elder pen blanks. Even with a super sharp skew, I have been able to get one to turn out yet. Tears....splinters........I have wasted about 5 sets of tubes so far.
I have turned a box elder hollow form with success....

Very nice box Mike! I agree that the wood is outstanding! Cool form and the flocking was a surprise!
